Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Trump administration has definitively scrapped a $1.8 billion fund to compensate President Donald Trump's allies, but the White House is sticking with the part of the deal that permanently drops tax claims against him. It's an extraordinary flex of executive power that could help shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct. Meanwhile the endorser-in-chief suffered a setback in Tuesday's elections, failing to lift Rep. Randy Feenstra to victory in Iowa’s Republican primary for governor. That sets up what the Democrats see as one of their best opportunities to pick up a governorship this year.

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order on artificial intelligence, less than two weeks after postponing a White House ceremony over his concerns that a similar policy could dull America’s edge on AI technology. It was not immediately clear to what extent the order signed Tuesday differed from the one he declined to sign on May 21. The order establishes a framework for the federal government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems for up to a month before their public release. The government will be able to work with trusted partners “that will have early access to covered frontier models to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure,” the order says.

Pope Leo XIV has issued a manifesto calling for robust regulation of artificial intelligence. His first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” has sparked widespread online reactions. Many young people appreciate his stance, seeing few leaders addressing AI's rapid rise. Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, often engages with contemporary culture. He recently participated in a viral meme and wore Nike sneakers under his vestments. His approach reflects the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Leo's engagement comes at a crucial time for the Catholic Church, as it reckons with past abuses.

The state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, claiming the company knowingly released and aggressively marketed ChatGPT to the public while concealing serious risks. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said during news conference that the company suppressed internal safety warnings and deceived users about the true nature and dangers of the product. The civil complaint alleges that OpenAI and Altman prioritized speed to market and commercial gain over user safety, disregarded repeated warnings from experts both inside and outside the company. OpenAI didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment from The Associated Press.
